) ( ): Unfortunately the answer is very obvious. I think we all know what I'm going to say. It is those on the other side. Bill Shorten and the Labor Party are the biggest threat to Australian jobs. Instead of job creation—I think this is the latest policy they have dreamed up along with Sally McManus—they're complaining that Australian workers are not striking enough, and they want to change the laws to encourage more strike action. Guess what? That is not how you create jobs; that is how you close employers down. That's Labor's plan for jobs. That will not help any business in Australia grow. Those on the other side don't have one policy that would create a job, but they have plenty of policies that would close businesses down. On this side of the chamber we know that a business that has to close employs no-one.
